Here’s a Link to the Third of Three videos showing you how I painted my Scots Covenanters.

The hair is painted Catachan Flesh. These next steps are quick so the goal is to paint areas that are not next to each other so that by the time you get to them the previous layer has dried.

And the back

And the Pikes

Painting Covenanters Tutorial: Part Three

The sashes/scarves/kilts or whatever they are are all painted a single colour, you can mix it up but this way I can create a uniformed look in an un-uniformed army.

The Pikes as well

Elven Flesh for the faces only. The Gloves are Khaki and the Pike tips are Metallic.

Elven Flesh for the faces only. The Gloves are Khaki and the musket rest tops are Metallic. I decided not to paint metal gun barrels, it looks weird and the brown muskets are different enough to pikes that it's easy to spot.

After a black wash, keep it light, paint the white lines for a tartan/plaid effect and light blue bonnets (Troglodyte Blue). Base them with fine sand, Catachan Flesh drybrushed with Khaki and finished with static grass.
